Independents in key battle ground states far more aligned with Republicans than Democrats

Several recent polls in key battleground states found that Independent voters are more parallel with Republicans over Democrats in which issues they find to be the most pressing.

Registered voters in Georgia were asked what they believed were the most urgent issues currently facing the state. A Quinnipiac University poll conducted from Sept. 8-12 with a margin of error of plus or minus 2.7 percentage points found that inflation was of top concern to both independents (43%) and Republicans (73%). However, despite the economic recession, inflation was only the issue of most concern to 8% of Democrats, ranking under election laws and racial inequality.

Abortion was the number one issue to Democrats at 23%, but was of top importance to only 12% of Independents and 4% of Republicans. Following the overturn of Roe v. Wade in June, which returned the power to place restrictions on abortion to the states, many Democratic candidates have been campaigning on abortion and bashing their pro-life opponents for their "extreme" views on abortion.
